Jake’s body was found near the University of Texas campus.
His older brother Sam, who played quarterback for Texas, was selected in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts.
Jake’s death is not being treated as suspicious, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

Their parents are Ross, a trial lawyer, and Jen Ehlinger.
Ross Ehlinger died at the age of 46 from an apparent heart attack in 2013 while running the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon in San Francisco.
“He definitely taught me everything I knew about the game,” said Ehlinger.
Jake arrived at Texas in 2019 after his playing career at Westlake High School in Austin, but he did not play the last two seasons.
NFL Network mistakenly showed a picture of Jake after Sam was drafted by the Colts on Saturday, but Sam said it made him happy.
